Afraid not. The battery will put out slightly over 12v and it will run
happily on that. The charging system generally puts out over 13v, but it
doesn't need this much to run properly.

OTOH, I chased a problem like this for quite a while with a CB750, and it
turned out to not be the carbs at all, but the damn spark plug wires.
Ran fine at low RPMs but cut out at 4-5K.
Still, the carbs are probably more likely, esp. if he hasn't tried the
Berryman's yet.
